Erykah Badu and Riccardo Tisci have taken their talents to the tracks — literally — as they posed for the October 2014 issue of Paper magazine in the New York subway system.
The spread was shot by photographer Theo Wanner. In the issue, there are photos and a short interview with both Badu and Tisci. Tisci used this platform as a space to share his near obsession with the singer turned mid-wife.
Tisci, the creative director of the luxury fashion brand Givenchy, calls Badu his muse. He has even made her the face of Givenchy, saying that Badu is “the exact definition of style.” In the interview, he shared what it was like meeting one of his idols for the first time:
“The first time we met was at one of her concerts in New York a few years back. But the first time we actually connected was when she arrived to the set of the campaign. I was so nervous — it is rare to spend time with one of your idols, and she is truly one of my ultimate ones. She was nothing short of what I had in mind. She arrived with the most outrageous hair (a solo braid long to the floor) and an amazing hat. She was the exact definition of style according to me. We clicked immediately. We hugged and talked for so long, about everything and anything. And we share so much more than aesthetics … I love her.”
